I'll be giving my paper 'Relativized Fundamentality', in which I argue against an absolutist conception of fundamentality---a conception on which a fact cannot be both fundamental and not fundamental in the same world at the same time---and for a relativized conception, on which whether a fact counts as fundamental is determined relative to a metaphysical dependence relation. I thereby show that a proponent of the PSR can be committed to fundamental facts without sacrificing the irreflexivity or asymmetry of explanation. Click here for a full program.

I am organizing a conference that aims to bring together historical and contemporary perspectives on the Principle of Sufficient Reason. The conference will take place at Simon Fraser University in Spring 2018. A lineup and more details can be found here.

I'll be presenting my paper 'Emergence and Grounded Fundamentality' at the first of a series of two conferences devoted to topics that lie at the intersection of grounding and consciousness. More details can be found here.
